La UBC enfrenta creciente presión tras testimonios que revelan fallos en el caso Galloway

El 11 de noviembre, una defensora de víctimas de violencia sexual declaró que la atención mediática al manejo por parte de la universidad de una denuncia de un estudiante de historia se había entrelazado con las acusaciones de agresión sexual contra el autor bestseller Steven Galloway. En testimonios anteriores ante la Corte Suprema de Columbia Británica, la profesora de escritura creativa Annabel Lyon explicó que había transmitido acusaciones no verificadas de una exalumna a funcionarios universitarios, aprobó una tesis incompleta bajo presión de un colega senior y describió una llamada al 911 tras los pensamientos suicidas de Galloway como un acto de cuidado. Un especialista en relaciones públicas sostuvo que Galloway disponía de los recursos para reparar su imagen pero no los utilizó, mientras que una exestudiante afirmó que la universidad le pagó terapia y gastos legales para participar en una investigación independiente.
